Command Circle
Area: Emergency Medical Services

The emergency management process is triggered by an event-related order. This begins with a situation assessment and is followed by an initial situation analysis. In this context, all conditions and circumstances that affect further action (in accordance with the order) are to be assessed and conclusions to be drawn. This process also needs to include the considerations to be made and ultimately the conclusions drawn. On the basis of the decision, the implementation plan is developed, which is communicated as a nission order to all concerned. The implementation of orders are monitored and controlled. Throughout the operation this cycle needs to be repeated for continuous assessment and reevaluation.
